I was just wondering what anyone thinks the odds of Chloe, after this year going solo with her father David Agnew as her manager.David Agnew is a very good writer/artist and it may be time to write and do new music for Chloe.I think she would do very well as a soloist,due to the fact she has made very important judgments on her own before when she started with Celtic Woman.Personal I think her music needs to be promoted more.I say she would do a wonderful job as a soloist artist and new music.She has already proved she is very good at what she is doing now! ''Bobby''

I don't know if she would collaborate with her father, at least in the near future. Perhaps someday...

I agree wholeheartedly that her music should be promoted more.

Yes! Let me add my voice to that chorus too. I've always regretted the lack of promotion for Chloe, and I've long hoped to see her get more publicity.

As for going solo, I can see upsides and downsides. For one thing, it would depend on what she would sing. If she were to remain in the Celtic Woman genre, or better yet draw back even closer to her classical crossover beginnings, I would be delighted. But if she were to turn modern (pop, country, or even worse horrors) . . . well, as I've said elsewhere, I'd still enthuse about her being a positive role model for body image for young women, and appreciate her beauty, but I could no longer enjoy her music as I now do, and that would be a pity.

For another, being a solo act is quite difficult. Chloe could cut albums as a soloist, but would she tour? If she did, her performances would have to be in much smaller venues, since "Celtic Woman" is such a powerful brand name. And while there is something very appealing about the idea of Chloe in a more intimate setting than a big concert hall, I also rather love the theatricality and production values and sheer entertainment of the Celtic Woman show. (I want to see Chloe headline "At the Ceili," for example.)

I could easily see Chloe as a solo concert performer, coming in to do arias during an orchestral concert. But would she have to give up CW to do that? Maybe she could do both.

It's a very interesting proposition, Bobby, but I'm torn about the idea of Chloe as a solo artist. I'd have to know more about what the plans were before deciding whether it would be better for Chloe to strike out on her own, or to remain with Celtic Woman.

Thats a very interesting thing celeste.
I think chloe would do fine a solo artist but i think she would have to stay with what we are used to getting from her to make it work. like you said chloe is a role model to many teens and younger people that if she did go solo and decided to be like katie perry or something that it probably wouldnt go over well.
But as of right now i think chloe has found her nitch. celtic woman seems to be doing wonders for her. its not only making her a better performer/vocalist but its also showing her what its like to have fame.
so maybe after she gets this out of her system that she might start doing some solo work.

It seems like every successful act, someone within the fabric want's to go solo..e.g. Diana Ross and the Supremes, Simon and Garfunkle, Fogarty of CCR, and on and on, some of them are successful, granted, but more often than not the power of their performance was in the COMB0 and the synergy, if you will, in the group itself. Since Chloe is still 19, who knows what the future will hold for her. She is nearly a perfect singer as can be found anywhere on earth. So there are all kinds of realms of possibilities for her. I think new songs, and songs that she could co-write with her father would go a long way into making her a solid solo performer. Does Chloe play any instrument? I think I read her sister wasn't interested in performing, they could be the new Judds, if so. She has won the hearts of all ages that is for sure, and with good driection and management, her dad and mom too, we should be hearing from her for a long time to come.

Ok. Here's another possibility.

What if Celtic Woman were to someday break up (for whatever reasons), and Chloe got scooped up as a LEAD singer for another Celtic or Classical Crossover group? Consider that CW is pretty much a "super-group" with 5 defacto equal soloists. There is a big difference between a solo artist performing with a backup band, and a lead singer of a true group. She might want to continue the kind of camaraderie between apparent equals that has developed with CW, even after CW is over.

well said scott.
its true that she might want to keep things equal. always trying to worry about things like if your better then others, or do i really deserve this spot gets old. not saying thats how chloe would feel. but i could understand if she stayed with something like this, were things are egual and each person shares the spot light.

I like that. I like that a lot. The trouble is, though, that I can't think of many other Celtic groups, let alone classical-crossover groups, so it's hard to picture it. In the classical world, things like The 3 Tenors are very rare, and usually one-off events, not regular associations. When Celtic Woman was created there was talk about how uncommon it was to create an ensemble of soloists.

But I have to say that my personal opinion is...yes. I'd love for Chloe to be the acknowledged lead singer of an ensemble, if she continues in an ensemble of some sort. I always think of her as being in the lead anyway, whatever the circumstances -- but that's just my own preference, because I cannot think of anyone being equal to Chloe, who is, by her very nature, preeminent.

After all, there may be a pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses, but there's only one Aphrodite.

Thanks everyone for all the replys on this issue;keep writing more.Scott came up with a good point,why I grew up in the 60s,70s,80s and 90s music and I have seen so many very good groups come and go. pop,rock,oldies,country,hardrock,metal you name it I have listen to it all and been to a lot of shows.But yes I have seen good groups form hit number 1 on the charts with different hits and all of a sudden bam;The lead singer leaves,the group starts to break up/MEAV;ORLA I know you know where I am going.I do write,but not music but Idid study music for 4 years,wrote a school play at 12 years old,and have written 100'S OF GREETING CARDS.TELLING MY AGE RIGHT! THANKS;BOBBY,KEEP WRITING MORE ON THIS ISSUE.

I was going to bring up another issue about maby a breakup of CW,I seen an interview with the ladies of CW and Chloe and Lisa K. are very good friends,what if they went on their own,together? They both play piano,cloe plays guitar and recorder and they both are great artist.Did any one know Chloe is member of Catherdral Church,maby this could be part of the inspirional songs,she seems to sing many of them.I will try not to out guess this, but Quote; don't promote my music more and sooner, things can change;UNQUOTE: Bobby: THANK EVERYONE! ''TO BE A STAR;YOU MUST SHINE''

thats true celeste their can and always will be just one chloe.
now im not sure about chloe and lisa coming together to do something but it would be interesting to see them work together on some things. lisa and chloe are both soloist in their own rights so for them to both come together would be like i said interesting. lol
but great idea

id support her which ever musical path she takes !!
